To see if O.J. Mayo and Allen Iverson can bring their Grizzlies deep into the playoffs this year, then you have come to the right place. If you're a diehard Grizzlies fan or just a basketball fan, then this is the site to come for anything related to the Memphis Grizzlies.

35-year old power forward Zach Randolph and 39-year old SG/SF Vince Carter are both proving to have a lot left in the gas tank so far in 2016-17 for the Memphis Grizzlies. Randolph has played in 13 games (0 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 22.0 minutes, 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. He has now played in 491 games (441 starts) in his first 8 years with the Grizzlies and he is averaging 33.5 minutes, 17.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He has been an NBA All-Star two times for the Grizzlies (2009-10 and 2012-13). Randolph is currently #3 in games played (491), #9 in assists (976), #7 in steals (397) and #4 in points scored (8,421) in Grizzlies’ history. He is also the Grizzlies’ all-time leader in offensive rebounds (1,738), defensive rebounds (3,379) and total rebounds (5,117)! Carter has played in 13 games (0 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 27.2 minutes, 9.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Carter has now played in 139 games (4 starts) in his first three years with the Grizzlies and he is averaging 17.6 minutes, 6.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The Grizzlies would be smart to manage the minutes for Randolph and Carter to keep them fresh and healthy this year.

26-year old small forward James Ennis and 26-year old power forward JaMychal Green both stepped up late last year, Ennis for the NewOrleans Pelicans and Green for the Memphis Grizzlies when both teams suffered huge rashes of injuries. They have continued to play well so far this year for the Grizzlies. Ennis has played in 5 games (all starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 29.6 minutes, 12.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Ennis is shooting 52.6% from the floor, 44.4% from the three point line and 75% from the free throw line so far this year. Green has played in 5 games (all starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 31.2 minutes, 11.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Green is shooting 47.9% from the floor, 43.8% from the three point line and 75% from the free throw line so far this year. Ennis will likely only keep his starting gig until Chandler Parsons is ready to return to action. He is recovering from a knee injury. Green has smooth sailing to keep his starting power forward spot, as long as he keeps playing well.

34-year old SG/SF Tony Allen has been named to the All Defense Second Team. Allen played in 64 games (57 starts) for the Grizzlies in 2015-16 and he averaged 25.3 minutes, 8.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.3 blocked shots per game. Allen is the ace of the defense for the Memphis Grizzlies, as he is often pitted against the best offensive player for the opposing team on a night to night basis. Allen has now played in 391 games (293 starts) in his first six years with the Grizzlies and he is averaging 24.7 minutes, 8.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocked shots per game. Allen is currently #2 in Grizzlies’ history in steals with 681 of them. Allen is also #10 in games played (391), #10 in offensive rebounds (575) and #9 in blocked shots (188) in Grizzlies’ history.

The Memphis Grizzlies are sucking so far in the playoffs, but you can’t blame 39-year old shooting guard Vince Carter for that. He has started both games against the Spurs and he is averaging 18.2 minutes, 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Carter is shooting 57.1% from the floor, 50% from three point range and 100% from the free throw line so far against the Spurs. Carter has now played in 80 games (58 starts) in the playoffs so far in his career and he is averaging 34.8 minutes, 18.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

36-year old small forward Matt Barnes and 34-year old shooting guard Tony Allen have both been stepping up lately for the Memphis Grizzlies. Barnes has played in 62 games (31 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 27.5 minutes, 9.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game. In his last five games, Barnes is averaging 32.4 minutes, 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game!

Allen has played in 52 games (45 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 24.9 minutes, 7.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.7 steals per game. In his last five games, Allen is averaging 29.0 minutes, 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 3.2 steals per game. With the rash of injuries the Grizzlies have suffered lately, they need Barnes and Allen to keep up the good work.

Due to injuries, 25-year old power forward JaMychal Green is starting to get more minutes for the Memphis Grizzlies and he making the most of them. He has played in 5 games (2 starts) for the Grizzlies so far in March and he is averaging 27.7 minutes, 14.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Green is a player on the rise for the Grizzlies and they need him to keep up the good work!

29-year old point guard Mario Chalmers has been really good this year for the Memphis Grizzlies. He has played in 53 games (5 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 22.5 minutes, 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. In his five starts for the Grizzlies this year, Chalmers is averaging 36.8 minutes, 15.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He is going to be starting the new few games due to Mike Conley being a little banged up right now. Chalmers has now played in 59 games (5 starts) overall this year for the Grizzlies and Heat and he is averaging 22.2 minutes, 10.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. The Grizzlies hope Chalmers keeps up the good work moving forward.

When the Memphis Grizzlies dealt Courtney Lee and Jeff Green at the trade deadline, most “experts” laughed at the return outside of the draft picks (a first rounder and four second rounders). But, 25-year old shooting guard Lance Stephenson, 23-year old shooting guard P.J.Hairston and 37-year old center Chris Andersen are all playing good for the Grizzlies. Stephenson has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Grizzlies so far and he is averaging 22.5 minutes, 11.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He is shooting an impressive 51.8% from the floor for the Grizzlies so far. Hairston has played in 7 games (6 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 22.1 minutes, 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Andersen has played in 7 games (2 starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 16.7 minutes, 4.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. The Grizzlies’ front office is looking like they really knew what they were doing at the trade deadline last month!

25-year old point guard Mike Conley really stepped up his game for the Grizzlies in 2012-13. He played in 80 games (all starts) for the Grizzlies last year and he averaged 34.5 minutes, 14.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Conley has now played in 438 games (409 starts) in his first six years with the Grizzlies and he is averaging 32.6 minutes, 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

He is also #4 in games played (438), #5 in three pointers made (446) and he’s #4 in points scored (5,415) in Grizzlies’ history. Look for Conley to continue to climb up in the Grizzlies’ record books moving forward.

Power forward Zach Randolph started slowly against the Clippers, but he’s red hot now. In his last three games, Randolph is averaging 37.3 minutes, 25.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game.
